I've made a few quilts for Quilts for Kids and I've done some as Dina said and some using the cross hatch.
Really cute quilt. I know some child will love it.
After I draw my first line... is there something you use to guide your sewing of parallel lines? Blue painters tape would work (I think) if I wanted 1 inch lines and wanted to take it off after every two lines sewn.
